Kennington Women’s Institute

Kennington Women’s Institute was founded over 80 years ago and continues to have a loyal membership.

Our monthly meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month (except August) in the Village Centre, Kennington Road, at 7.15pm.

We are a friendly group who are always pleased to welcome ladies visiting the area or, if you live locally, why not come along to a few meetings with a view to becoming a member yourself. At most meetings we have a Speaker and after their talk we have a break for a cup of tea/coffee and biscuits, and sometimes a short quiz or catch up on local news.

We list below our programme of events for 2006-2007:-
